My theory on the whole operator thing is this:

The operator. in his youth desperatly wanted to become a producer.

In order to become one, he became a film student.

Sadly, after a while, the teachers noticed many weird things with his productions.

The unusual and omnipresent distortion on his tapes, his teammates dissapearing randomly and waking up in strange motels, their inability to maintain a good working rythm due to major memory losses, the fact that he felt the need to always appear at awkward moments in most scenes of his work, etc.

The school direction therefore asked him to quit.

This angered him to the point that he tore out his whole face with his nails, leaving him bereft of a face. To hide his scars, he decided to bandage his whole face and never remove those bandages.

He also started developping heavy stress, which alteresd his glands and created in him an unusual growth sprut.

He blamed the school for his torment and was angry at anyone who managed to become a film sutdent.

To exert his vengeance, he decided to superstalk every film student he could find, ruin their tapes make them forget all they could using his paranormal aura and make sure nobody ever graduated as a film student in his town.

EVER AGAIN

I don't like the theory that The Operator was once a good human. If he was previously human at all, it would be creepier to have him be one of the horrible criminals hung on the trees.

I don't think the Operator was -ever- human. I think he may have been a "forest spirit" of some kind -- sort of like a "heart of the forest" ancient power-ma-thingie -- but when all of those people were burned, their blood ran into the ground and corrupted the trees and therefore -- SlendyGod. Especially since it seems to me that all of those people were terrible criminals of some sort -- that means it was EVIL BLOOD (dun dun DUN!!!) soaking into the ground. Not to mention when you burn trees I'm sure that forrest spirit types get cranky to begin with, maybe that's how it all began.

I still maintain J was led into that woodsy bit by Alex as a sacrifice to Slendy for the return of Amy or as an offering to Slendy to leave Alex the hell alone. Either Alex was gonna try and kill J himself FOR Slendy (as a way to stop people from getting to the ark for good) or as an exchange for Amy -- but either way and for whatever reason I think that TTA or Timasky will appear in all their masked glory and whisk J and his idiot ball to safety. Maybe J was with the TTA Crew for a time during the 7 month gap, and Tim's appearance in the room is them trying to get him back into the fold.

Maybe he was hung to a tree like the others as a capital punishment for ruining thousands of kilometers of tape?

I'm all about the "deity of the forest" school of thought. I wonder if he disrupted media back in the 19th century like he does today.

"I'm getting some strange visual tears on my daguerreotypes."

"This Edison cylinder is all distorted, what gives?"

I like all these 'cept Jay being part of TTA.
I think TTA are the anti-Slendy group but I think they are watching out for Jay... I don't think he's part of TTA.

Following the flood theories... Since we're talking about the forest... what if the ark is something that will "cleanse" the forest? A "flood" of cleansing, curing the forest and something will happen with Slendy?

An ark escapes the flood. It does not cause it.

True but it's the only connection I can think of.
Since we're going by the "fire caused the forest deity to be angered."
Opposite of fire is water.
Ark is associated with floods. Or it can be a "vessel or sanctuary that serves as protection against extinction". So when they "cleanse" the forest, the ark would protect them?

I don't think he's *joined* TTA (and Company -- if you believe in multiple TTA members) I think maybe they keep him safe, or protected somehow. I think that TTA (and Co.) are willing to go to extreme lengths to do this -- up to and including hitting him on the head with a hammer and keeping him in a drugged coma if necessary. I wouldn't put much past TTA (and Tim, cos I think they work together, though perhaps not always on the same page.)

If TTA thinks J has what TTA needs to escape/eradicate/kill/save people from Slendy I think TTA would try and grab J, hold him and fill him full of truth serum, put him in a hypnotized/trance state, and try and work the truth out of him. Maybe J yielded no answers because he can't remember properly or has a block put up due to Slendytrauma so TTA deposited him back into his hotel room -- I donno. I'm saying I believe it possible not necessarily true.

Unless, to escape the flood, you have to cause the flood (via metaphorical displacement or something). Which would mean the Operator is not the flood. That's just a random musing though.

Like if the flood was worse than the fire, but to the ones with access to the ark, the fire is a more personally pressing concern, but they would have to drown the world (metaphorically) to put out said fire.

Welll, considering the fact taht, according to alex's story, those hung up in the tree were criminal, I don't see the operator cleansing anything.

Plus, why would a modern noah get off so much on stalking film sudents?

I didn't say the Operator would cleanse anything, I said the ark would.
Slendy/Operator is basically the antagonist of the whole situation. I don't see the ark and the Operator being one.

Wait what if the Ark is the Operator. TTA knows something secret/special about him and what he can do and needs Jay to incapacitate him so that TTA can get to him and use that power.

I just thought I would add, if anything I say is a repeat, I would appreciate being called out on it. If I didn't say that, I'd feel like such a hypocrite.

Maybe the operator is named operator like the slang term for a special force unit.

Maybe the army was scavenging for some cadavers for something like a supersoldier project that would create soldiers with parapsychic capabilities like the ability to disrupt electrical equipment, make people forget stuff, be a creepy stalker, etc, etc and they found those tall dead dudes in that forest. And when they found out about the story of the place, they told themselves "they're psychos so they won't have problems with killing and stuff" and they preffered them for that as well as the fact that they weren't too decomposed du to being hung in a tree for so long.


Or something like that.
